Booking now open for Community Building Workshop BUILDING COMMUNITYYou are invited to an experiential workshop:17 – 19th May 2019

A rare opportunity to attend a Community Building Workshop, as described within M Scott Peck's book "A Different Drum".

You know that sense of deep community that comes from a shared task (think the Blitz; that scene in The Witness where the Armish build a barn together; a group of people rescuing a beached whale or helping refugees; a group of protesters brought together by a common cause).Now imagine that "The Task" IS ONLY to build that sense of community.

A group of people commit to a weekend together. They commit to staying in a room (with breaks for meals and sleep), facing each other in a circle, and building a deep rapport. They go through cyclic stages (Pseudo-community, chaos, emptying, community) and as they work hard together they slowly start to recognise the barriers to connection, often within themselves.

This intense process, a "technology" for connecting, not for the feint-hearted, has been developed over years in the US, UK and further afield, drawing from aspects of the work of the intense T-groups of the 60s & 70s, of the Quaker movement, of the 12-steps traditions and many others. The process is facilitated by trained & experienced facilitators, by the use of silence, story, reflection, guidelines, and speaking one's truth in the moment. It is a deep process that can lead to deep change.

Do you feel in a world of hostility, injustice and lack of connection?

Imagine finding a way, through which conflict can be resolved gracefully, tasks accomplished in harmony and where we can feel deeply connected.

Building community offers a way of relating in groups and in individual relationships that enables us to transcend difference, communicate with authenticity and work together effectively to meet mutually agreed goals.

When we are in community with each other, we can experience deep peace and grow in compassion.

This model of building community can best be learnt by experiencing the process in a group or workshop. It has been introduced in the UK, USA and Europe as well as other parts of the world, to individuals, organisations, businesses and intentional communities.

M Scott Peck who developed this process and who founded a foundation devoted to promoting and facilitating it, is known for his bestseller The Road Less Travelled and wrote two books about building community, The Different Drum and A World Waiting To Be Born.
